Spiders in the mosaic: How habitat heterogeneity and structure drive local spider diversity in a Mediterranean forest

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 810-826, August 2026.
We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Influence of temperature on development of pine wilt in scots pine.

open access: yesJournal of nematology, 2011
The effect of temperature on pine wilt development in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) was examined in three experiments. Container-grown pines (4-6 years old) inoculated with 1,500 Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were incubated at constant temperatures in growth chamber for 8 weeks, then at a temperature range of 15-30 C in a greenhouse for 10-12 weeks ...

Impacts of Atmospheric and Soil Droughts on Carbon and Water Fluxes in Northern European Coniferous Forests: Evidence From Eddy‐Covariance Data

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Atmospheric and soil droughts were assessed using the SAMI and SSMI indices at northern European coniferous forest eddy‐covariance (EC) sites, and ecosystem responses were evaluated from EC flux data. The results show that soil droughts have been rare, while air moisture limitations on carbon and water fluxes occur more frequently. Atmospheric droughts

Is it possible to extend the season for direct seeding of Scots pine and lodgepole pine in northern Fennoscandia?

open access: yesSilva Fennica
The aim of this study was to experimentally test the most favourable seeding times for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), and to compare Scots pine and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loudon) in respect to suitable seeding times and site factors.

Environmental Association Analyses in Plants and the Influence of Methodological Decisions

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is predicted to impact existing ecological systems, leading to a requirement to improve our understanding of environmental adaptation in plants, particularly for conservation and the development of environmentally tolerant crop varieties.

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1101-1115, August 2026.
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Effect of Loading Rate on Mechanical Properties of Micro-size Scots Pine Wood

open access: yesBioResources, 2017
The use of micro-size samples is becoming more important to determine the mechanical properties of wood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the loading rate on the micro-mechanical properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood ...
